What is recorded here
Castle Kennedy Airfield hides beside Dumfries and Galloway, marked only by faint field boundaries and a ring ditch. It is not a grand palace or busy port, but a quiet anomaly where human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The absence of a date does not diminish it; it invites imagination. Perhaps people lived there, loved there, and vanished so completely that even the earth forgot their names.
